Re: Does a trailer over 10,000 lbs require a CDL

I have given you the text word for word straight from the book covering these laws.I have given you the law number so you can go look it up for yourself.I have even given you the federal Interpretation of the law that puts it in everyday terms.

Still you come on here and say what I have said is wrong.So lets make this easy. Please teach me as I am always willing to learn.Show me in black and white the law that backs up your statements.

Sorry I dont mean to come of as being abrasive. Here is a link to a flow chart that makes it easy to see that any trailer over 10,000 lbs puts a person into CDL territory as does any combo with GVWs excedding 26,000 assuming again, that it is a commercial apllication. This was a big deal at my company when the law was changed several years ago as we have 4 pintle trailers over 10,000 GVW.

I heard about a young INDOT officer stopping a guy. His trailer had a 9k plates, however the trailer was rated at 14k. The truck was commercial and had DOT#s on it. Combined gross was under 26k and the trailer wasn't over the 9k plates. Cop gave driver a warning for not having a CDL. He said it didn't matter what the plates said, it was what the trailer was rated for. Guess what, I removes the factory sticker on my trailer? I too have 9k plates on a 14k trailer and no CDL!
